A
reflection on
the Gospel for
the Third
Sunday in
Ordinary
Time
|
|
We are
not in Nineveh,
but perhaps we
share something
in common with
them. Maybe we
observe things
in others that
we do not
approve and
wish to change.
We could even
think the
society we live
in is just as
corrupt as
Nineveh or
more. The
people of
Nineveh were
given the
opportunity to
reconsider
their actions,
maybe we should
also take time
to think about
the things we
do. Do you
agree with the
call of God?
Are we more
concerned with
our own comfort
or with
acquiring
things that
only provide
short-lived
satisfaction,
than in serving
others and
following
Christ? Are we
more interested
in our games
and
entertainment
than listen to
our spouses and
children? Are
we more
interested in
proving we are
the boss in our
home than
demonstrating
genuine respect
and dignity?
What must we
convert in our
own private
Nineveh? When
we reconsider
the things we
need to change
in our life, it
is there that
we find the
call to follow
Christ. The
disciples
interrupted
their work and
followed Jesus.
It may not be
as drastic as
this for us,
but we are
called to have
a greater
consciousness
of our mission
as Christians
in this world.
It involves
thinking about
the things we
do all day and
how it affects
our family,
community,
church, and
society.

Una
reflexión
sobre el
evangelio del
tercer domingo
del tiempo
Ordinario
|
|
No
estamos en
Ninive, pero a
lo mejor
tenenmos algo
en que nos
parecemos. A lo
mejor vemos en
los
demás
cosas que no
nos gustan y
que
quisiéramos
que cambiaran.
Podemos
incluseo pensar
que esa
sociedad
está tan
corrompida o
más que
la de Ninive. A
los ninivitas
se les dio una
oportunidad de
recapacitar
sobre sus
actos.
Quizá
nosotros
tengamosque
tomar un tiempo
para pensar
sobre lo que
heacemos.
¿Está
de acuerdo con
la llamada de
Dios?
¿Estamos a
veces
más
preocupados por
nuestra propia
comodidad, o
adquirir cosas
que nos dan
satisfacción
solamente un
rato, que por
servir a los
demás y
seguir a
Cristo?
¿Estamos
quizá,
más
interesados en
nuestros juegos
o
entretenimientos
que en escuchar
a nuestro
cónyuge
o nuestros
hijos?
¿Estamos
más
interesados en
demostrar que
en casa
mandamos
nosotros que en
mostrar respeto
y dignidad
verdaderos?
¿De
qué
necesita
convertirse
nuestra Ninive
privada? Una
vez que se
recapacita
sobre lo que
debería
cambiar en
nuestra vida,
está
ahí la
llamda a seguir
a Cristo. Los
discípulos
interrumpieron
sus trabajos y
se fueron tras
Jesús.
Quizá
para nosotros
no sea tan
drástico
como eso, pero
si que se nos
llama a una
mayor
consciencia de
nuestra
misión
como cristianos
en este mundo.
Se trata de
pensar en
qué
hacemos durante
todo nuestro
día y
cómo eso
afecta a nuetra
familia, a la
communidad en
que vivimos, a
la iglesia y a
la
sociedad.

The fireworks explode in midair and we
hear people say “ooooh.” We
cannot keep to ourselves our amazement at
the awesome display. Something similar
happens to soccer fans when their team
scores goal, and they jump from their seat
and shout “goooal.” There are
things that touch us deep inside and which
we express through some word or gesture,
without thinking, like the kisses of
lovers, tears of sadness or joy, a sigh,
an “I love you” or an “I am
sorry.” When we realize that God is
present in our lives we shouldn’t be
quiet either. It is like wanting to
repress that “goooal” shout or
the “ooooh” of the fireworks. It
is difficult to convey it in words or to
explain it in detail but, when we allow
God to touch our souls, we can feel it.
And we might express it with only a few
words (an “amen” or a “dear
God”) or maybe through an action that
comes from the heart, like a hug or a
smile. To be a person of God, to have God
present in our lives, means to have
proclaim his presence in this world to its
four corners. To be attuned to the will of
God means that we must announce his love
and goodness while, at the same time,
denounce the injustices and evils that
prevent the fulfillment of the reign of
God. In other words, we must be like the
prophets who, when they heard God,
proclaimed and lived God’s will.
Los fuegos artificiales estallan en el
cielo y se escucha un “ooooh”
general. No nos podemos contener y se nos
escapan gritos de asombro. Hay cosas que
nos tocan muy adentro y toman la forma de
alguna palabra o gesto, sin apenas pensar
en ello, como los besos de unos
enamorados, las lágrimas de
tristeza o alegria, los suspiros, un
“mi amor” o un “lo
siento.” Cuando nos damos cuenta de
que Dios está presente en nuestras
vidas, tampoco lo deberíamos
callar. Es como querer reprimir ese grito
de “goooool” o el
“ooooh” de los fuegos
artificiales. Es difícil expresarlo
en frases o explicarlo con detalle pero,
cuando dejamos que Dios nos toque el alma,
uno lo siente. Y quizás sólo
unas palabras, un “amen” o un
“Dios mio”, o quizás lo
expresémos con una acción
que nos sale del corazón, como un
abrazo o sonrisa. Ser persona de Dios,
tenerlo presente en nuestras vidas,
significa tener que exclamar a los cuatro
vientos su presencia en este mundo. Estar
sintonizado con la voluntad de Dios quiere
decir que tenemos que anunciar su amor y
bondad a la vez que denunciar las
injusticias y males que dificultan el
establecimiento definitivo del Reino de
Dios. En otras palabras, tenemos que ser
como los profetas quienes, al escuchar a
Dios, proclamaban y vivian la voluntad de
Dios.
